    I dont think Lerner approached him for that role yet.

    On a positive note, Aston Villa is in 7th place.

  • Lerner is not capable of landing a big name GM or even an extremely talented coach for the browns...he has to have a horrible reputation amongst the backbiting nfl elites..until he sells the team or changes the way he runs things to a rooney or modell type model the browns are doomed to failure..

    And randy is not capable of running things like a real football man so we are completely doomed unless randy gets lucky and grabs a intellectual football guru newbie that grows up fast...

    I don't believe that. Some of the people you envision may not want to come to Cleveland, but I doubt it is because of Lerner or his inability to know who they are.

    Actually, he seems like he would be a good owner to work for.

    Good artlicle, peen, but damn depressing. I just hope with all of my soul we can get an experienced, aggressive GM in Cleveland who knows what the FVCK he's doing.

    Well that was damned depressing, but it points to the larger issue that no one worth anything is going to want to come to this shit heap.

    No credible coach will come here. We would have to pay 15 million a year to get an experienced coach to play for this owner. The guy only gets involved when he needs to make a hasty, uninformed decision.

    Don't bet on it. There are only 32 NFL GM jobs on the planet. Tons of "credible people" be they GMs, Coaches, etc. will play here for various reasons:

    1. Their own egos will tell them they can be the guy to straighten things out.

    2. Cash. Money talks, bullshit walks.

    3. Great fan base. Who else would have stuck behind a crappy product like this the past 10 years. (Steeler fans: put your hands down)

    4. Good resources. Not every single player on this team is a mope. Many are, but there is free agency and those 11 draft picks.

    5. Tradition. Being a succesful coach in Cleveland means you own the town. Marty owned the town, he just didn't own the team and had to put up with an idiot, meddling owner.

    6. Ownership: despite the current situation, Randy Lerner is NOT a meddling owner like a Modell was, or Jerra down in Dallas (which is why Parcells is no longer there), or Snyder in DC.

    I am sure there are more. But like I said, there are fewer NFL GM jobs than there are U.S. Senator jobs. (and being a GM pays more)

    In Mangini's press conference some one asks a question about Marty, I didnt hear what the question was but he went on to say He really liked Marty and he talked to him alot in NY because there offensive cordinator Brian is his son. He said something to the likes that if Marty had any suggestions he'd be welcomed anytime. You can go to Clevelandbrowns.com to hear it for yourself

    Yep, I agree! Lerner is NOT a meddler...As I say often, if only he will hire a football guy as President & let him run with this team, from GM down, I think we'll be ok. Randy just doesn't seem to evaluate management/coaching talent well, so let a panel of 4 football experts be involved in hiring a President. A solid candidate & his subsequent choices would have opportunities to be real HEROES in Cleveland....it really is a GOOD opportunity.
